Chapter 14: Power and prestige! Li Yao tries the edge of the imperial capital
……
The "Prodigy Trial" has been a tradition since the founding of the Great Qian.
The term "Trial" signifies a preliminary test of one's prowess.
Since ancient times, Guilong City, the capital, has been a gathering place for high-grade families and the royal family, teeming with powerful individuals and geniuses. Young prodigies are as common as "cattle in a herd."
For someone like Wang Shouzhe, who started with a lower-grade A-level aptitude, he would only be a passerby in Guilong City, not even worthy of a second glance.
Only those with a middle-grade C-level aptitude or higher would garner a bit of attention. After all, at this level, as long as they have sufficient cultivation resources, the probability of advancing to the Celestial Realm is quite high.
To truly make a name for oneself among the younger generation, one must at least be a prodigy, and not just any prodigy, but at least of upper-grade D-level aptitude.
But that's just to make a name.
To become famous in the talent-filled Guilong City, to dominate among the younger generation, even upper-grade D-level is not enough. One must be above B-level, an exceptional genius even among prodigies.
